The image shows a turbulent sea with debris and barrels scattered over the waves. In the distance, there is a small town with buildings, a tower on a rocky outcrop, and mountains and hills extending into the distance. The stormy sky is above the sea. The artwork is detailed with intricate line work resembling etching or engraving in black ink on paper, with shading and cross-hatching for texture and contrast. In the foreground, a figure is running from the chaos.
